The members will hold a brief meeting then enter into the membership drive and party. The event is open to current members and anyone wanting to join the auxiliary.

The auxiliary is furnishing a ham. Those attending are encouraged to bring a covered dish.

There is no gift exchange, but there will be some bingo.

"We need help to build our auxiliary back to what it once was and it will take all out members and new ideas," President Danelle Holtzclaw said. "We also need volunteers to help with our Tuesday night bingo crowds as we are having very good turnouts."

The new membership cards will be available from Treasurer Lindy Brehmer. If unable to attend the event, please mail dues to Lindy at P.O. Box 36, Carmi, IL, 62821, or give her a call at 384-0175.
